"I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and Modeling the Molecular World was the best professional development of my career. Not only did we engage in hands-on activities using a myriad of 3D Molecular Designs models, but also we took a deep dive into the content. The course shows you how to use the models with your students. I saw a marked improvement in test scores in my AP Biology class after I started using the models in my classes."

Science Spotlight
Scott Keeney, PhD, is a molecular biology researcher who discovered the function of the Spo11 protein, which is responsible for making DNA double-strand breaks. He currently studies chromosomal recombination during meiotic cell division, including how it is regulated, at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Keeney and his lab continue their work on Spo11 and how it interacts with other proteins in the cell nucleus by working with yeast and mice as model organisms. By identifying the basic mechanisms underlying recombination, they can determine how the process fails in conditions such as Down syndrome and some forms of cancer.
